The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s dive into the next sixteen days for Riviere de Galets. This reef-and-point setup is fairly consistent and has a good SW swell window, but the first few days are a bit of a write-off. The water’s a touch warmer than normal for this time of year at 76.6°F, which is nice.
We’ve got a slow start. Saturday the 18th and Sunday the 19th are only offering small, marginal waves with cross-onshore wind – definitely not worth paddling out for. The real action kicks off Monday morning the 20th. That’s the standout of the whole outlook. Monday morning looks clean with a light cross-offshore breeze, building swell around 6.9ft (SW, 15s period). The combined energy is strong at 1970, so there’s real push behind it. The waves will be solid and well-formed, but at that size it’s best left to experienced surfers – beginners would be out of their depth. Crowds are sometimes an issue here, but early Monday you might have a bit more room.
Tuesday morning the 21st is another cracker. The wind goes glassy, dead calm, with a 6.9ft SSW swell at 12 seconds. Energy is still strong at 1320. That glassy surface will make the waves look like glass – absolute perfection for a reef break. Could be a bit inconsistent between sets, but when a set comes it’ll be worth the wait.
The rest of the first week gets messy. Monday afternoon and Tuesday afternoon the wind shifts cross-on or onshore, so the quality drops. From Wednesday the 22nd right through to Saturday the 25th, the wind picks up to 15–25 mph from the southeast, keeping the surface choppy and the waves poor
